Prosthetic management of large ocular defect using lost salt technique – Case report - IDJSR- Print ISSN No: - 2394-708X Online ISSN No:- 2278-3784 Article DOI No:- 10.18231/j.idjsr.2020.025, International Dental Journal of Student's Research-Int Dent J Stud Res

Highlights

Several studies which has been described in the past for ocular prosthesis fabrication for cases of excessive orbital volume various techniques have been described .Excessive volume loss occurs due to various reasoned for which needs to underwent enucleation or exenteration procedure
4 In this paper we are going to describe a new technique for fabricating a pneumatic custom ocular prosthesis for large ophthalmic cavities by using lost Salt technique, in order to reduce the weight of the prosthesis and improving mobility, comfort and aesthetics apart from preventing lower lid distortion and/or asymmetrical alignment of the entire palpebral fissure
The technique described in this article to overcome the problems of large ocular defects and to make prosthesis as light as possible and to prevent the deteriorating effects of voluminous prosthesis on lower lid seems very simple, logical, cost effective approach. the technique described needs care while placing a second layer of acrylic resin, that make sure 1-2mm acrylic resin should be free from salt while placing it on first layer so that second layer can attach with first layer

Summary

Introduction

Several studies which has been described in the past for ocular prosthesis fabrication for cases of excessive orbital volume various techniques have been described .Excessive volume loss occurs due to various reasoned for which needs to underwent enucleation or exenteration procedure. Otherwise impingement due to extended prosthesis lower fornix dehiscence occurs and it might cause assymetrical alignmnet of entire palpebral fissure. Aggarwal H proposed method using lost wax technique for the fabrication of light weighted. 4 In this paper we are going to describe a new technique for fabricating a pneumatic custom ocular prosthesis for large ophthalmic cavities by using lost Salt technique, in order to reduce the weight of the prosthesis and improving mobility, comfort and aesthetics apart from preventing lower lid distortion and/or asymmetrical alignment of the entire palpebral fissure. 7. After the removal of salt completely from prosthesis escape holes can be seal using auto polymerizing resin (SC 10, Pyrax, Roorkee, India) obtaining a pneumatic prosthesis. Final prosthesis removing salt through salinefilled in syringe by making holes in final prosthesis
